Absolutely agree! I simply cannot understand the recent negative stance on McGoldrick. He was top level for first 1/3 of season but due to Scott injury and Morias no show! He has been asked to put in too many minutes and us now knackered and carrying an injury. A top class professional in my eyes.
He was a mile off man of the match yesterday whoever decided that was watching a different game to me. Langstaff was a massive pest all game in his more roving role than usual and Chicksen was excellent. Roberts whilst also unassuming did a great job. Nemane huffed and puffed and made a very positive contribution for sure but in a wingback role he is too lightweight at the back, cannot head a ball and is inconsistent going forward. And they are traits we can all see over a substantial amount of time. He's an absolute definite very useful squad player but not much more really.
McGoldrick could have had better chances to improve his goal ratio if Bostock stopped his really bad habit of playing his safe but negative sideways passing and tried looking looking forwards. His constant trotting sideways carrying the ball gets us nowhere positive but allows the enemy time to re-organise their midfield. That left and right movement is echoed in reverse by Macca moving right and left waving his hand, hoping for the pass that never comes.
